Dwight Capital Reaffirms its Position as Top Commercial Lender

2021 was Dwight Capital’s most exceptional year to date, with more than $5.68 Billion in closed real estate loans (including $1.2 Billion in Interest Rate Reductions) across 40 states. The firm increased its servicing volume to over $9 billion and was once again one of the most active, direct HUD lenders in the country, upholding its industry-leading position as a top-3 HUD lender for the second consecutive year.

Dwight’s overall lending volume grew by 55%. Approximately $1.37 billion of the 2021 total was funded through the firm’s affiliate commercial mortgage REIT, Dwight Mortgage Trust. Dwight also expanded its offices as it opened a sixth location in Columbus, OH this year.

“I applaud the entire real estate industry, especially our team members at Dwight Capital, for the tremendous amount of hard work and sacrifice we all endured to make 2021 a record year overall,” said Josh Sasouness, Managing Partner of Dwight Capital. “It’s one of those times in life where it’s OK to look back for a second to realize what we have all accomplished. As the market continues to become more aggressive, even with a recent tangible rise in interest rates, I encourage both ourselves and the industry as a whole to continue the momentum through 2022 in a healthy and disciplined way.”
